My understanding is that Texas was able to sneak this through the Supreme Court quickly in a rather underhand way using a procedure called a 'shadow docket' . I don't exactly understand the ins and outs but hopefully the lawsuit from the AG will force them to deal with it properly and at least one of the 'conservatives' will realise they need to conserve women's rights under the constitution.
I read a piece in the NY times, but there seem to be some others which may not be paywalled if you search for
